Natural killer cells in placentation and cancer: Implications for hypertension during pregnancy [PDF]
Hypertension during pregnancy is the most common medical condition encountered during gestation. Despite this, knowledge of the mechanisms that underlie the disease and the development of new therapies are limited.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Universal Mortality Law, Life Expectancy and Immortality
Well protected human and laboratory animal populations with abundant resources are evolutionary unprecedented, and their survival far beyond reproductive age may be a byproduct rather than tool of evolution.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Backbone chemical shift assignments of human 14-3-3$\sigma$ [PDF]
14-3-3 proteins are a group of seven dimeric adapter proteins that exert their biological function by interacting with hundreds of phosphorylated proteins, thus influencing their sub-cellular localization, activity or stability in the cell.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Kinetic Model of Translational Autoregulation
We investigate dynamics of a kinetic model of inhibitory autoregulation as exemplified when a protein inhibits its own production by interfering with its messenger RNA, known in molecular biology as translational autoregulation.

ERBB receptors: from oncogene discovery to basic science to mechanism-based cancer therapeutics.
ERBB receptors were linked to human cancer pathogenesis approximately three decades ago. Biomedical investigators have since developed substantial understanding of the biology underlying the dependence of cancers on aberrant ERBB receptor signaling.
